Seven counties, eleven weeks, 17,610.0 miles (28,331.04 km or .71 times around the earth), $2,080.07. Of course I could have spent less (a lot less) than I did but it was important for me to balance cost, comfort, experience (“obligatory South American border crossing by bus”) and especially time efficiency. And I must add…

I heard from many people that I need to do the backpacker thing and do at least one long bus ride/border crossing in South America. It’s a rite of passage and I think it would be nice to be able to know that I could do it and do it solo.
